As 11-year-old Jocelyn Williams bounced around the aisles of Dick’s Sporting Goods in search of the perfect pair of sneakers, she could barely tone down the mega-watt smile plastered across her face.

“How about these pink ones?” she was asked.

Still grinning, she craned her neck upwards to address the towering six-foot-five man standing next to her.

“Yeah, those are nice,” Williams told Cam Newton.

Williams, a sixth-grade student at Collinswood Language Academy, was one of approximately 20 elementary school children in the Charlotte area invited to Newton’s “Shop With a Jock” holiday charity event.

But before the night started, Newton opened the floor to questions from his audience.

One student stood up somewhat bashfully.

“Mr. Newton,” he began.

“Well, I guess this isn’t really a question,” he continued. “But I wanted to say you’re the best football player ever.”

Newton flashed his signature smile before approaching the boy to give him a bear hug.

Cam Newton loves the kids. I've been waiting for ONE type of charity event specifically though. Ready for it?


CAMping with Cam Newton. Kids and their families get a weekend in the offseason full of fishing, hotdogs, smores, camping, and fun with Cam (and probably Smitty, Luke, and others).


Make it happen.

I've said this before but Cam is just a natural around kids.  I think it's because since he's been such a high profile star almost his whole life most people he comes in contact with have alterior motives.  Kids don't.  Cam can be himself and not worry or use up so much energy being guarded.

 

And good for him for all he's doing in the community.

I have water in my eye

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
